Taiwan Bubble Tea Festival
May 20 2018

Here are my photos taken at today's Taiwan Bubble Tea Festival. The group was allowed to sell up to 300 tickets before they had to stop - and that happened before the first hour was up - before noon! People kept coming and going throughout the afternoon and there were nearly as many at the end as at the beginning!

A very impressive effort by Kuan Lee, Jonathan Lin, and a volunteer committee of about 40 people who planned this event over the past 6 months and engaged a variety of performing artists to compliment the many local Rockville vendors of Bubble Tea! Awesome job! -- By Stephen Fisher

RSCC AND YILAN COMMITTEE MEET AND GREET

On April 5, 2018 the Rockville Sister Corporation (RSCC) and the Rockville Yilan City Corporation (RYCC) gathered at Rockville’s historic Glenview Mansion for a ‘Meet and Greet’ in order that our two organizations could get to know each other as we explore the possibility of a Sister City relationship between Yilan, Taiwan and the City of Rockville.

After sampling a delicious spread of light refreshments, coordinated by RSCC Director, Liz von Kaenel, participants were provided with brief presentations by RSCC’s President, Drew Powell and RYCC committee member Hung Bin Ding. This was followed with small discussion groups in which RSCC and RYCC attendees shared various cultural experiences. Many thanks to all RSCC and RYCC members who worked hard to make the evening a joyous success, especially RSCC Director, Bob Wright, who was crucial in this event’s planning.

JIAXING "REUNION" DINNER

A dinner was held on May 3, 2018 at the Seven Seas Restaurant in Rockville as a kind of "mini-reunion" for those who have visited our Friendship City (Jiaxing), those born in or coming from the Jiaxing area, and prospective new RSCC members. Attendees were treated to some great Chinese food (lobster was on the menu!) and RSCC Directors Bing Huang and Ying Chen were primarily responsible for the night's agenda.
